This is a new and expanded edition of the bestselling Principles and Techniques of Practical Biochemistry. It includes discussion of the theoretical principles, practical details and applications of the key experimental techniques that are routinely used in modern biochemistry and molecular biology, including those that have led to the emergence of the new disciplines of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics. All chapters have been updated and new sections added to cover the principles of experimental design, the statistical analysis of quantitative analytical data, and the principles and practice of clinical biochemistry. here are new chapters covering cell culture, microscopy and mass spectrometry. To enhance student understanding of each topic, in-text worked examples are included in each chapter. The textbook will be essential reading for all bioscience students and pre-clinical medical students.
  • Discusses the principles and practical applications of all commonly used analytical techniques in the biosciences
  • Aimed specifically at undergraduates in the life sciences, and includes all techniques that they are likely to meet in their practical classes
  • Includes increased coverage of molecular biology, including bioinformatics and proteomics techniques
